Interesting short article about how fear of crime and pursuit of the feeling of safety have shaped the urban form in Shanghai. Studying urban design in school, I notice again and again how more than safety, FEELINGS of safety define cities
The Class Anxieties Behind China’s Millions of Security Guards
The vast majority of Chinese urban homes are inside gated communities. Once, residents feared crime. But now, they fear something else.

idk man I do kind of think this is worth thinking about. why is it that all the people in the replies think this is an AI lobby talking point? I am not a big booster by any means but yeah, I do think that this is a concern

I feel like being against misanthropy makes for a pretty good guiding principle in one's social interactions. it's a shame I can't call it philanthropy because that word is already taken

This is what I mean. Mamdani has given Trump a surge of populist credibility - among some of the most impossibly stupid people in the country, sure, but credibility nonetheless

actually I don’t think Zohran going “oh yeah me and ****Donald Trump**** have lots of the same politics something something working class!!!!1” is a particularly good sign. I think it’s actually a very worrying sign!
Ok, pretty funny of Zohran’s people to put out the absolute model of the sort of statement that drives Bluesky absolutely *insane* to be studiously ignored On Here because of the source

@bokane.org you don't know me but I wanted to thank you -- your feed was what convinced me to take Classical Chinese this semester, and it's tough but I'm enjoying it, and I look at your posts to remind me what I will be able to read now! 🔥🔥🔥

thinking about this again!
“Folks say “I don’t like kids,” as casually as they’d say they prefer Pepsi to Coke. When people say things like “kids are okay, but I just don’t want them around me,” we don’t generally question that. I think we should.”

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

i'm convinced if we ever tried to touch the rail of meat politics in America (something that's going to eventually need to happen in order to reduce CO2 emissions), it would lead to a huge right-wing shock
remembering the time a random catholic priest got mad at me about a hypothetical about the government restricting meat production on the other site
meat politics is going to be insane for the next Dem administration which takes climate change seriously, imo

this semester is the first time in a while that I'm taking a truly idiotic class. what a waste of my time. covers nothing I already know, and it's so poorly taught that anyone taking it who doesn't already know this stuff will have a hard time learning anything new.

good politics
Overstaying its welcome. Making New Yorkers’ days grimmer. Something we should relegate to the past.
No, we're not talking about Andrew Cuomo. We're talking about scaffolding.
Today we released our plan to take it down more quickly.
